Market situation of PP spunbond nonwoven fabric industry

As of early July 2026, the PP spunbond nonwoven fabric industry is showing a market trend of "cost decline but weak demand", while the production capacity is clearly upgrading towards green and functional upgrades.

1、 Recent market trends

1‌. Price and market trend: In late June 2026, due to the significant decline in the cost of raw material polypropylene (PP), the theoretical profit of PP non-woven fabric slightly rebounded. However, insufficient terminal orders led to limited follow-up of spot prices, and the market fell into a stalemate. The reference price for mainstream spunbond non-woven fabrics in Shandong region is about 12000 yuan/ton, and the actual price needs to be negotiated.

2‌. Supply and demand pattern: The industry is facing a two-way squeeze of "cost collapse and weak demand", with a lack of upward driving force, and there is a risk of passive downward shift in the short-term price center. Although global sales have reached 123.784 billion yuan by 2025 and are expected to grow to 184.8 billion yuan by 2032, there is currently significant pressure to reduce inventory.

2、 Technology and Application Trends

1. Performance optimization: Leading enterprises focus on lightweight and high-strength, uniform weight (10-100g/㎡), and customized functions (antibacterial, anti-static, flame retardant) to adapt to segmented scenarios such as medical, industrial filtration, and agricultural cold protection.

2. Green manufacturing: The production process emphasizes low-carbon and energy-saving, and the products comply with domestic and international environmental standards, helping to promote green upgrades in packaging, daily use, and other fields. The share of domestic materials in the international supply chain is steadily increasing. ‌
